Learn from my mistake. When your at the top you will get false friends who want your demise but will be around you to get some of that shine and real enemies who will ACTIVELY try to bring you down. Trust on yourself. If you have to associate with someone make sure they make you look like a little boy in terms of what they are doing in other words they dominate you in whatever field. That’s all. I’ve lost years due to befriending weak people. Don’t make the mistakes I did!
I realised in my early 20s that every single person I interacted with either drained or charged up my batteries. Jealous people, gossip mongers, manipulators, drama queens, mouthy basturds etc all drain your battery, while genuine friends, mentors, positive thinkers, comedians etc charge up your battery.
I quickly learnt to minimise interaction with drainers and maximise engagement with chargers. You cant completely avoid dealing with drainers because they are everywhere in life-critical sectors, mostly at work or at school if you are still in education; and some of them can actually help you attain your goals in life. Those who live more fulfilled and calmer lives have mastered the art of managing drainers and maximising chargers.
As a man, you are doomed if you choose a wife of girlfriend who is a drainer. You have to do everything within your gift to ensure that your woman is a charger. We get a break from drainers we meet at work or school, but there is no break from drainers we have in our personal lives. Thats why children who are raised in dysfunctional families end up broken and damaged, because their batteries were constantly on empty during their formative years.
Manage your drainers tightly and build your network of chargers. Life is sweeter when you master some of these principles.
